I don't understand why this complaint survives, it seems a myth at this point.

Open a fresh install of Brave. No crypto things are happening. There's one button inviting you to enable it, which you can dismiss with 2 clicks. It will never ask again.

Every time I disable a Brave Rewards setting, a new one seems to pop up. It's in the address bar, it's on the startup page, it's in the sidebar quick menu, it's in another section of the startup page, it's in the tab bar when I open the browser settings, the crypto stuff is everywhere.

I wish they'd auto hide all that crap for you after you click "not interested in cryptocurrency stuff".

It’s pretty simple to turn all that off. It’s bloat, for sure, but can be made invisible.

If they could just fix the back-button on Brave iOS so it doesn’t occasionally pick a completely different tab, I’ll be happy.

> simple to turn all that off

Technically, in the browser, yes. Culturally, at the organization level, no.

A CEO that sweetened the deal would set about turning brave into chrome and google search. You cannot both castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.

Everyone has to earn a living, not just people who have the same values as you.

Hopefully they too can find a lawyer to be a CEO of a tech company.

Just use Cromite. Brave already proved they can't be trusted.
